How are music videos edited to make the artist appear like they are singing in slow motion when the song is playing at normal speed?

Answer 1

Just to add. Music videos are 99.9% of the time the exact same song audio as on the album. There’s a lot of reasons for this, but basically you record one version and that’s the one that used everywhere. Anytime you see someone singing on a music video that’s just video, the audio is just the same song they recorded in the studio, laid over whatever they want to put on screen, even faking that they are singing the song

The short of it is the “music video” is a video made to play behind the music they already recorded. It’s the video, not music. The music was already made.
